Final details about the Gladstone man who shot and killed his wife and himself in the Tualatin Legacy MeroLab last week are starting to emerge.

Police say that 39-year-old Robert James Beiser, using an arsenal that included a handgun, shotgun and rifle, opened fire on the medical testing center where his wife worked just before noon on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Two other employees of MetroLab, 7587 S.W. Mohawk St., were also wounded in the attack. Tony Ochoa, 63, of Tigard, was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital, where he had surgery for multiple gunshot wounds. Ochoa was the first to be hit by the bullets as they were fired into the building. He was wounded in his hands, his chest and leg.

The badly wounded Ochoa crawled to a neighboring business where he was given first aid until officers were able to contain the scene and bring in medical units to treat the injured. He is recovering from his injuries.

Another employee, 20-year-old Brittany Nichole Lore of Vancouver, Wash., was near the front doors when the first bullets hit and was injured from flying glass and bullet fragments. She ran out of the building and flagged down help near a nearby Subway restaurant.
